20 Reasons Niall Is One Direction’s Hottest Star

Put your party hats on, One Direction fans! It’s a special someone’s birthday, so you might want to ditch your crushes for playboy Harry Styles, 19, or even engaged Zayne Malik, 20, after you find out more about hottest boy band’s sexiest member, Niall Horan, who turns 20-years-old today!

Let’s take a look and see why you should reconsider changing your last name from Styles to Horan.

1. What’s sexier than an English accent? An Irish accent! Niall hails from Mullinger, Ireland. And he’s said to be the town’s pride and joy — can’t argue with that!

2. He’s a baker. Yep, according to Niall’s dad Bobby Horan, he’s got a major sweet tooth and can make the BEST batch of cupcakes. Eat up!

3. Speaking of Papa Horan, Niall plans to propose to a special girl on Valentine’s Day just like his father did with his mother. Wonder who that special girl will be!

4. He’s not like other guys. Aside from a good bum, Niall says that sexiest thing a girl could rock is her intelligence. This might be a good time to renew those library cards.

5. He’s not afraid of his emotions. Niall cried while watching Finding Nemo and The Notebook. And was said to be the saddest when the group lost on The X Factor. Um, how about you forget the tissues next time and maybe have my shoulder to cry on?

6. Niall’s got his girl’s back. Niall has said that if and when that special girl comes into his life, he’d go out of his way to protect her at all times — and even walk her home! Who wants to go home when you can cozy up at Niall’s pad instead?

7. Age ain’t nothin’ but a number. Niall loves women–and we mean all kinds of women. There’s no dating preference for the 20-year-old. In fact, his first crush was none other than 44-year-old Jennifer Lopez.

8. He shares some of our biggest fears. The notorious foodie once dreamt all the good in the world had disappeared and woke up crying. Same, Niall, same.

9. You can totally be yourself around him. Niall says his biggest turn-ons are a big appetite, humor, and wait for it — farting!

10. Niall’s a patient guy. He doesn’t really date much. Not because he’s playing the field — he’s waiting for the right girl to sweep off her feet. Definitely worth the wait.

11. Nothing’s sexier than a guy who doesn’t know he’s sexy. Niall’s said he wants to be Cheryl Cole someday just to know what it’d be like to be hot for once. Does Niall own a mirror?

12. Olé! Aside from that Irish accent, Niall’s also fluent in Spanish. He’s even sang a few songs to fans in the sexy language. Donde esta mi dictionario?

13. He’ll keep your wallet and your pocket full! Niall refuses to have a girl pay for any date — just one catch! Don’t be a afraid to eat in front of him.

14. Forget about a perky chest or squat-tastic bottom. Nial’s all about — get ready — a girl’s heart.

15. The quiet ones are on his radar. The notorious yapper likes someone on the shy side, just to break through those layers. Hmm, might not be too hard to let your guard down around him.

17. A big hug goes a long way. Liam Payne, 20, once said, “Niall sometimes get a bit scared (during shows). So we give him a cuddle to make sure he’s okay.” Aww!

18. Niall’s happy attitude doesn’t go unnoticed. While the boys like to rough each other up, Niall likes to sit back and enjoy the action. According to Ed Sheeran, 22, “They’re pretty violent lads. Well, except for Niall. He just sits there and smiles.”

19. He respects the ladies! He’s said,”If a man whistles at you, don’t turn around, ignore him. You’re a lady, not a dog.”

20. Any of us could be Mrs. Niall Horan! He’s even said he can’t wait to marry a One Direction fan!

Birthday Bash Down Under

Sorry ladies, Niall’s birthday won’t be in the U.S. or even London. Instead, he’s headed to Australia to kick off his birthday with family and friends down under.But not to worry, Niall’s headed back on stage and in our hearts for 1D’s Up All Night tour later this month.
